Cycling Clubs in Texas

Here at Biking in Austin our focus is on biking as alternative transportation so we generally don't cover sport/rec issues. But we recently came across this list of Texas cycling clubs, so we thought we'd pass it along. We got this list from the Texas Bicycle Coalition in Dec. 1999. We don't have any information about these clubs beyond what's listed below, so we can't supply any more details.
